I know that Christmas TV isn't the same 'Event TV' that it used to be and I can't really remember the last time the family all sat down to watch something 'live', but I still buy the double edition of the Radio Times every year. In fact, I actually look forward to buying it.
On the general topic, I saw a good 'nostalgia' link on FB the other week, showing the BBC's advert for Christmas Day TV in 1988. Xmas Day TOTP (would have been shit with Cliff at number 1), the Queen (never been shown again as she 'blacked up' for the speech), Back to the Future premiere (when you were genuinely excited by a TV premiere) followed by OFAH 'Dates' (when Del first meets Raquel). Some good watching there.
